Panama Catuai Coffee — Sweet, Smooth & Grown in the Highlands of Boquete

Few coffee varieties deliver the kind of reliable, satisfying complexity that Catuai does — and nowhere does it shine brighter than in the volcanic highlands of Boquete, Chiriquí. A natural cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra, Catuai thrives at high altitudes in Panama's mineral-rich soils and cool mountain climate, producing beans with a distinctly sweet, well-balanced character that keeps coffee lovers coming back cup after cup.

What's in the cup? Expect rich notes of chocolate, caramelized sugar, honey, and ripe stone fruit — with a smooth, medium body, gentle acidity, and a clean, lingering finish. Natural-processed lots bring out deeper fruit sweetness, while washed Catuai delivers clarity and brightness. Honey-processed versions land beautifully in between. Whatever the processing method, Boquete Catuai consistently punches above its weight.

Catuai is the most versatile variety we carry — it has the body and sweetness to survive pressure and milk, which is why it is our first pick for espresso, the Moka pot, the French press, and lattes and cappuccinos. To understand how it differs from Caturra and Geisha, read our guide to Panama coffee varieties.
